strobist with movement

[theent01]

I really don't often post the "look at my shot" sort of things, but I did something this weekend that I thought I should share, at least for a critique of the gear. My photography club went to the local amusement park, and I've been wanting to try combining motion with a longer shutter speed and adding flash to freeze the subject as well. Fortunately, i have some great willing participants in the club, and I got one to hold a sb-800 rigged with a rf-602 and point it behind her at some of the other club members as they went around on the giant swing ride. And, if you're wondering, the rf-602s, while moving and often out of line of sight, and quite far away, never missed a shot
Here's the shot, comments and critique are of course welcome, and a thanks to DH and the strobist community for giving me the confidence to push myself and my gear

Great way to freeze the action, great idea!
